# Setting Up Slack to Receive Hivel Alerts

{% hint style="info" %}
We suggest creating a dedicated Slack channel just for alerts, so updates stay visible and easy to track.
{% endhint %}

### **Steps to Set Up:**

1. **Integrate Slack with Hivel:**
   * Go to **Settings →** [**Integrations**](https://app.hivel.ai/settings/integrations) **→ Slack**.
   * Complete the integration process as outlined in [this guide](https://docs.hivel.ai/integrations/slack-integration-with-hivel).
2. **Add your Slack Channel ID:**

   * Create or open your Slack channel and copy the **Channel ID** from the "About" section.

* Click the **Settings ⚙️** icon in the Alerts screen, and paste the Channel ID in the **Alerts Configuration** section.

3. **Invite "Hivel Alerts" Bot to Slack:**

* Type **`@Hivel Alerts`** in the Slack channel and invite the bot.

Once done, Hivel will start sending alerts to your Slack channel.

### Sending Alerts to Personal DMs instead of channels

1. Copy the member ID of the individual who should receive the alerts - by selecting the profile icon -> view full profile -> three dots on the right then "Copy member ID"
   1. Note - you can only configure one such channel personally. So in case you have configured your own member ID, you won't be able to add someone else's.
